    I'm not a fan of FG but boy they have been fantastic over the last week. He just comes across as very reassuring

    all I want from Leo is honest about how long this is going to go on for, best scientific estimate, so we can plan on that basis

    Good speech from Leo. Why are some disappointed that there’s “nothing new”?? He’s checking in with the nation on our most culturally significant day. It’s important to keep engaged. Not gonna lie I nearly cried when he described the elderly as “our most precious”.
    He’s doing a good job.

    Honestly do not see where they are getting this from.

    RTE should show a decent disaster movie each night where the outcome is positive.

    Same here. That organisation is an absolute piece of shiiite.

    It's an address to the nation but this will do nothing to make people calm. If anything this will make them more worried

    I'm thinking of my folks in their late 80s listening to this disaster movie schtick :(

    Some people can’t get enough drama and won’t be happy until there are snipers on the streets.

    **** sake. Same ***** that were having a party last night are having a party here again tonight in Drumcondra as Leo delivers a significant speech.

    ****!! I feel like letting a roar at them.

    Same would happen regardless people will do what they want. You think they could keep people locked up.
